Mesh Primitive

What is it about?

This page documents the Mesh Primitive Op node of the Scene Nodes system in Cinema 4D, the Swiss army knife for primitives. One type menu covers all basic shapes — with an Op output that goes straight to the scene.

This Node can be described as the "Swiss knife” for the creation of primitives. The desired shape can be defined using the Primitive Type menu. These shapes are identical to those in the Geometry group. The Mesh Primitive Node, however, bears the advantage that a complete shape is generated automatically, making it unnecessary to use the Geometry Op Node.
